Puss n' Booty (1943)
7/10
that's all, folks (for B&W Warner Bros. cartoons, that is)
18 September 2007
The final black and white cartoon from Warner Bros. features a plot line that we've seen many times: cat tries to eat bird, bird turns out to be nasty little dude. Believe it or not, "Puss n' Booty" came before the Sylvester-Tweety pairings (Sylvester hadn't even yet debuted when this one came out), so if anything, those copied this one; in fact, they remade it as "I Taw a Putty Tat" and cast Sylvester and Tweety.

Some of the shots - such as looking down from inside the birdcage - reminded me a little bit of POV shots from movies like "Rear Window", but maybe that's just me. While I do prefer the Sylvester-Tweety pairings for cat-canary rivalries, I do have to give this one credit for starting the genre, and for giving Bea Benaderet her debut. Worth seeing.
